RKWard installation bundle
This is a bundle of KDE for Windows, R for Windows, and RKWard for windows. The purpose is to make installation of RKWard as easy as possible on Windows
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
Installation
To install, simply double click the .exe. You will be prompted for a directory to install to. This could be C:\Programs\, but also a host of other options, including a network share or USB drive. A subdirectory "RKWard" will be created in this path, and all files installed in there. Note that R works best when installed to a path without spaces.
You may want to drag the "RKWard"-icon to your desktop after installation (it will be called "RKWard.lnk", if filename extensions are shown). Use this to start RKWard.
Running
Double click the "RKWard" icon.
Uninstallation
To remove all program files, simply delete the unpacked directory. If you copied the "RKWard" icon to your desktop, delete it there, too.
If you also want to purge any settings and files, remove the hidden directories ".kde" and ".rkward" in your application data directory. Warning: Do not do this, if you have any other installation of RKWard or KDE on your system, which you would like to keep, or you have created any RKWard output that you would like to keep.
Nothing is written to the registry, so no need to clean up, there.
Troubleshooting
For problems with RKWard on Windows, refer to http://p.sf.net/rkward/windows. For problems specific to KDE or R, please refer to http://www.kde.org, and http://www.r-project.org, respectively.

(Redistributors, if needed, provide your own instructions, here, in accordance with §3 of the GPL version 2). However, if you are interested in the source distribution for practical, rather than legal, reasons, we recommend you refer to the following places, instead:
- For KDE, the main page is http://www.kde.org. Technical documentation is available from http://techbase.kde.org. Information specifically about the windows port of KDE is at http://windows.kde.org. At the time of this writing, the recommended way to obtain and build sources for KDE on windows is using emerge.
- For R, the main project page is http://www.r-project.org. Current and historical sources are linked from that page. For up-to-date instructions on installing or compiling R on Windows, refer to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html and http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/.
